Irev learned that he had broken up with his girlfriend while talking to Seo Hyun-woo a few days ago.
Of course, from the beginning, he did not believe that Seo Hyun-woo had a girlfriend.
I just had a gut feeling that the time had finally come because those words came out.
“…”
Seo Hyun-woo looked at Irev blankly, speechless.
It must have been said while immersed in emotions, but I thought I might have crossed the line a little.
But if it’s a joke, it could fit a little.
“That’s what people who promise to get married say.”
“You can just do it. If we love each other, that is the end.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“I have always been sincere.”
“Then I can take it as a joke.”
Seo Hyun-woo took the first step and answered calmly.
He had already gotten used to Irev’s words and actions to some extent.
There was no reason to panic, he would just have to listen as he always did.
“Hmm… the reaction isn’t bad. They seem to take good care of me.”
“Because you’re on my side, of course, won’t you treat me well?”
“I can be satisfied with that. Who knows if it will turn into love?”
Seo Hyun-woo smirks and shows a serious expression.
I thought that his personality had changed a bit since he had been quiet all this time.
However, it was only an illusion, and in reality, he was putting up with it and pouring out the words he wanted to say now.
“If dating with me is what you want, it would be better not to join the subjugation team. I have no intention of doing that.”
“Did I tell you before? I will do my best until I can handle the life of the president. To do that, you have to be stronger than the president, right?”
“Are you confident that you will be stronger than me?”
“It’s not that I’m confident… I’m just trying my best. It’s better than doing nothing.”
Irev barely answered in a muffled voice.
He did not think that his existence would be of great help to Seo Hyun-woo.
He was the weakest among the executives of the student council, and he was only defending his position as the head of the department by using the characteristics of his abilities.
“Do you consider yourself weak?”
“The other managers would be better than me. There was no reason for you to choose me.”
“… Standing at the forefront and attacking enemies is not something anyone can do. You have to risk your life, and you have to have excellent skills.”
When conducting subjugation, it is generally assumed that the monster is killed.
In other words, he could not be given a role that could withstand the attacks of monsters or attract attention.
What do you mean by defending against a board that couldn’t even kill one more monster?
“If we start subjugating ourselves, there is a high chance that you will die. Do you know?”
“… yes.”
“The more dangerous you are, the safer the other team members are, and the speed of subjugation can be increased. But that’s not what I want.”
Seo Hyun-woo stopped immediately and turned to Irev.
Irev waits for Seo Hyun-woo to open his mouth with a fluttering heart.
“If you are on my side, no one should be hurt. It’s not even better to die. That’s why we only hire people who have the potential. The more strong people come together, the more stable the team becomes.”
“If that happens, the cost will be higher and the subjugation speed will be slower, won’t it?”
“Performance is a matter of later. The most important thing is for your team members to survive. A team cannot exist without its members.”
Seo Hyun-woo did not intend to create a subjugation team to gain wealth and fame.
He was going to have his own subjugation team to overcome the disasters and crises that were to come.
If we set a bigger goal, wouldn’t it be to help Kang Jin-ha and save the lives of countless people?
“Then wouldn’t it be better without me? Rather, because of me, the level of the subjugation team may be lowered further.”
“Don’t underestimate yourself. I hired you after seeing your potential. It is not something anyone can do to hold the position of a manager for more than a year.”
Seo Hyun-woo wasn’t just trying to take Irev out of responsibility.
After seeing the battles Irev has fought in the meantime, didn’t he judge that it was worth recruiting?
In addition, he had improved the utilization of his abilities while fighting himself, so he must have more than expected by now.
“Are you looking at me higher than I thought?”
“I look at it high because it deserves to be seen high. He was also kind to me, so I hired you first.”
“It seems that my efforts were not in vain. It must have been that the president’s heart was shaken a little, right?”
Irev shows a sad expression with a smile.
When Seo Hyun-woo even said that, I thought that enthusiasm had already sprung up.
However, since then, the gift has not been written, so I was a little disappointed.
“But you don’t use the perfume I gave you. Is there anything you don’t like?”
“Um… is it a little burdensome?”
“You don’t think I gave perfume with impure intentions, do you?”
“I said it was a burden, I never said that I had impure intentions.”
Irev narrows his eyes with a dissatisfied expression on his face.
If I had used perfume once or twice, I would have been satisfied.
However, since there was no sign of using perfume at all, the sadness only increased.
‘Ah, I have to write it to make it more perfect. There are many places I want to touch, but there are no gaps. If I do a little more, won’t it fall over?’
***
Late at night, a motel on the outskirts of Seoul.
Foreigners were coming out one after another, hiding their faces with hats and coats.
No one opened their mouths, and no one looked at each other.
He was just walking somewhere with blurry eyes and a bewildered face.
When they arrived, foreigners with the same identity were gathered together.
When the time had come, those who had been given orders had gathered at the appointed location.
Since he arrived in Korea at regular intervals, he would not have been suspicious of the committee.
“Has everyone gathered? Check the number of people first.”
“All right.”
The men in black robes moved quickly and began to check the number of followers.
The man who gave the order checks the reports sent by each branch and shows a vicious smile.
Everything was going according to plan, and if the Korean side handled it well, the end could be seen soon.
‘We have already identified where the Korean branch guys are hiding. All I have to do is kill them all and bring that bitch’s neck.’
Gordon Credick, the head of the American branch of the Craxis Church, looks around and looks for traces of the pursuer.
When I was active in the United States, I had to hide all the time, so it was a habit to be wary of my surroundings.
If their existence was discovered, the Korean Hunter Committee would take immediate action.
‘We also need to get rid of the guy who impersonates Craxis-nim… Can you tell me where he is and what he’s doing?’
Gordon was also planning to get rid of the fake Kraxis that Ryu Seon-hwa worshiped.
There was no need to kill him, but in order to establish the basis of the cause, it was better to kill at least one more person.
Even if I couldn’t find it, it wouldn’t be a problem.
I’ll just have to kill the plausible guy and present it as a fake Kraxis.
‘It’s a bit pricey to kill them all. Shall I kill a few as examples and use the rest as my subordinates?’
Although the number of members of the Korean branch was smaller than that of other branches, it was known that they had reached the highest level in terms of strength and devotion.
Originally, the Archbishop of the Kraxis Church was also a Korean, and the origin of the Kraxis Church was also Korea, so it had the power to match it.
If they could keep them under their control, the power of the American branch would be even stronger.
‘But I wonder if I will be able to subdue them all…’
“Gordon Credick. Look at me.”
As the tampered voice resounds, the eyes of the believers are focused on one place.
Gordon is greatly embarrassed, but instinctively radiates magical energy and prepares to attack.
“Who sent…”
Gordon unknowingly steps backwards, unable to even blink his eyes.
An existence that should not exist was in sight.
Even the believers knew that, so they couldn’t move and looked only at the owner of the voice.
“I will ask you. Do I look like Kraxis?”
The owner of the voice was wearing the same black robe as them.
I thought that the cracked left horn and the holed right wing were particularly conspicuous.
The right horn and left wing were nowhere to be found, but those features were the real symbols.
Don’t the bizarrely distorted face and the three eyes embedded in it look exactly like the statues you’ve seen before?
“…it was you. How dare you try to imitate Kraxis-sama!”
Gordon quickly came to his senses and stopped in front of the devotees.
Then the devotees in black robes also stood next to them and began to radiate magical power.
In terms of appearance alone, it looked like kraxis, but it could have been artificially decorated with ornaments.
Besides, it’s already midnight, so doesn’t it look a little blurry?
“Can’t you hear me?”
The figure of Kraxis slowly took a step forward.
Then the devotees are terrified and retreated all at once.
Gordon also tried to take another step backwards, but immediately grabbed the opposite sex and took a step forward.
“Are fakes trying to fool me?”
Gordon slammed his right foot into the ground and screamed.
Then, from the ground Gordon was treading on, earthen pillars began to rise one after another.
The pillars stretch freely toward the shape of Kraxis, causing even a small earthquake.
“… if you come to Korea, speak Korean.”
The form of Kraxis creates purple flames and pours them out toward the pillars.
The purple flame smashes the earthen pillars at once and pushes them away.
At the same time, Gordon quickly spreads the earthen wall and blocks the purple flame.
“Did you try to impersonate Kraxis-sama with just this much power!”
“Do you know what I’m talking about?”
The figure of Kraxis spit out annoyed words and waved his right hand.
Then, more purple flames began to rise than before.
Seeing this, Gordon felt the power gap and had no choice but to face a huge fear.
“Isn’t it fake?”
Gordon had to face the flames approaching him for the last time with those words.
Even the believers who were next to him joined, but they could not stop the flame.
Believers behind them began to run away quickly, fearing that they might die.
“It can’t be. It’s impossible! The real Kraxis appears!”
